If you go through all orders every day (like we are required to do) Make up a simple word document for every day of the year and put in a big binder. When you read orders say cbc due 1/22/10 and q 2 month after then put cbc for that patient on sheet for 1/22 - 3/22 - 5/22 etc. We have columns for results recieved, md aware, new order, rp aware and filed on chart. rn supervisors get this each morning after start up on the wings and have to complete it and turn it back in. then it gets filed back in your binder and you have proof it is done (or at least hold them accountable if they say it is and isn't. Also book type calenders at each wing where nurses taking the orders write the labs due on the calender when they are taking the order and you can compare what you have with what they have
